11|4 Single-Party State
a single-party state is a when place has one who makes up all the rules and all the other people who live there can't do or say anything without permission but can argue about the rule even though the dictator might not listen
a government with one person who makes the laws with no help
strength - people have a fear of their dictator so there would be a less chance of someone doing something bad
weakness - population can't make decisions and they are very unhappy
Representative Democracy - when people vote for people who make laws for them
strength - there are a lot of different opinions to vote on
weakness - not everyone agrees on the new law
Direct Democracy - when all the people in the country have an equal say in the chooses that are made
strength - everyone can express their opinions, it makes people feel important
weakness - there's lots of disagreements and it takes a long time to make a deicision
Theocracy - when a government is ruled by a god and supervised by a counsil
strength - they don't have to make any decisions for themselves because God makes them
weakness - people treated it more like a religion than a government so they worshipped it
Representative Democracy is best.
